Preaching and Warning the Gullible, Naïve Masses by Refuting their False Notion of Representatives of God on Earth

Firstly: worldly charlatanism does not succeed so often:

1- A charlatan came to a village, and he told the naïve villagers that the president of the State has authorized him to represent the presidency in this village, assuming all authority over them. The gullible peasants believed in such fake authorization; the charlatan became the absolute ruler of the village and he enslaved the peasants, who forgot all about the president of the State and assumed as if the charlatan were the ruler with absolute power.

2- An owner of a large farm in one village was very busy with his business in the capital of the State; a charlatan came to a village, and he told the naïve villagers that the owner of this large farm has authorized him to manage it. The gullible peasants believed in such fake authorization; the charlatan became the controller of the large farm and he enslaved its peasants, who forgot all about the original owner of the large farm and assumed as if the charlatan were the owner in charge of the large farm and he can do whatever he wants.

3- Another charlatan went to another village and told the wise, reasonable villagers that he had an authorization from the president of the State to rule over them in his name; the wise villagers and peasants demanded to see a written document as a tangible proof of such authorization; the charlatan felt embarrassed and did not know what to say. When the villagers and peasants saw this, they knew that this charlatan tried to deceive them, and they punished and humiliated him by giving a public beating and then put him in chains on a donkey's back to roam the paths of the village in disgrace. This is the difference between the gullible, naïve people and the wise, reasonable people.

4- When one gives an attorney/lawyer a written authorization, this attorney/lawyer represents one in courts, etc. while one is not present in any case. When one gives someone else a written authorization to manage one's assets, one can no longer control and manage these assets; the one with the authorization can even buy/steal/confiscate the assets without the knowledge of the original owner, who will never be protected by Law; the Law does not protect the gullible, naïve people.

Secondly: religious charlatanism renders most people as naïve, gullible, blind followers of myths:

Ordinary, common charlatans in most cases end up in prison; they are cursed, verbally abused, disgraced, and/or beaten by people before being imprisoned. In contrast, religious charlatans (i.e., clergymen) step with their feet on the heads of the naïve, gullible, blind followers who sanctify and deify them! Instead of despising, humiliating, and chasing away clergymen who urinate inside their heads, the gullible, naïve masses honor and revere them and give them their money!

1- The charlatans/clergymen of different Christian denominations, which are earthly, man-made religions, claim to the naïve followers that they are authorized by God and that they act as mediators between the masses and God; i.e., they claim as if they were God's representatives, and therefore, they must control people in this world and in the next or the kingdom of heaven (i.e., the Hereafter: Hell and Paradise). This assumption is very insulting to God; it is as if He has created the universe and left it to clergymen to control it and to control human beings. The reasonable human mind refuses to accept this myth; yet, Satan the Devil, who is the grandmaster of all types of clergymen worldwide in all eras and not only of the Christian clergymen, makes the gullible, naïve masses disregard their minds. Without using their reasonable minds, human beings become like herds of cattle or any animals who believe anything uttered by the clergymen/charlatans. This is how the falsehoods of the Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant clergymen (of all denominations) live on until now. Each sect or denomination has its head or pope and high-rank and low-rank clergymen and ecclesiastics who typically wear laughter-inducing embroidered clothes and who control billions of US$ within their 'holy' churches. No one among the gullible, naïve, blind masses ever demanded from any priest or pope to show a written document as a tangible proof of such authorization of the claim of being representatives of God on earth.

2- The same applies to the clergymen/charlatans of the Muhammadans in their earthly religions, especially the Shiite clergymen who have ranks, billions of US$, and 'holy' houses of worship and mausoleums similar to the Catholics; the Shiite clergymen of today assume they are authorized by God to represent Him to the 'believers' as the mediators between the masses and Him, and this 'justification' makes them assume to control the gullible, naïve masses in this world and in the next one; as if they were in charge and in full control of the Hereafter: the Last-Day events, Judgment, Hell, and Paradise. This is the silliest notion ever; it is as if God has created the universe and left it to Shiite clergymen to control it and to control human beings. The reasonable human mind refuses to accept this myth; yet, Satan the Devil, who is the grandmaster of all types of clergymen of the Muhammadans (i.e., Shiites, Sunnites, and Sufis), makes the gullible, naïve masses disregard their minds. Without using their reasonable minds, the Muhammadans become like herds of cattle or any animals who believe anything uttered by their clergymen/charlatans. his is how the falsehoods of the clergymen (of all Sufi, Sunnite, and Shiite sects, divisions, and branches of the Muhammadans) live on until now. Each sect has its own deified high-rank and low-rank clergymen/sheikhs who typically control billions of US$ within their 'holy' religious institutions. No one among the gullible, naïve, blind masses ever demanded from any of their sheikhs to show a written document as a tangible proof of such authorization of the claim of being representatives of God on earth.

3- The West has liberated itself from the Church and clergymen; the role of the Church is now confined to its walls; curfew has been imposed on it within streets of cities of respectable, secular States. On the contrary, the Muhammadans in their countries are still enslaved by their Sunnite/Sufi/Shiite clergymen; Sunnite/Wahabi and Shiite theocracies are established now in Arabia (the KSA) and Iran, respectively. The secular Arab tyrants who rule in Arab republics ally themselves to the Sunnite clergymen to control the citizens. Those tyrants ride/control the clergymen who, in their turn, ride/control the citizens.

4- The Wahabi Sunnite terrorist MB group was the strongest opposition movement in the Arab world and its movements used the name of Islam to deceive and control the minds of the gullible, naïve masses so that the MB would rule Egypt and the other Arab countries one day. The terrorist MB members felt that they ride/control the masses by deceiving them by claiming they represent God and He has authorized them to rule and dominate over them! Of course, the hypocritical Salafists are similar to the terrorists MB group members and they follow their footsteps now. When the MB reached power in Egypt in 2012, its members showed their true colors as polytheistic, arrogant, aggressive criminals who assumes airs of superior and aim to establish a theocratic rule; millions of Egyptian citizens revolted against the terrorist, Wahabi MB in the revolution of 30 June, 2013, and they managed to oust the tyrannical MB president. Of course, the Sunnite discourse of the terrorist MB is imitated now by Salafists in Egypt and elsewhere; each of these evil theocrats claim they have received an authorization from God to rule the nations! The one year of the MB rule in Egypt (2012-2013) showed the polytheism of the MB members as they insulted God by claiming He is on their side along with His angels serving their whims and blessing their decisions! May God curse them for such blasphemies! It is as if Salafists and MB members were owning/controlling God! May His Holy Name be exalted above all their lies and falsehoods! It is a grave sin to employ the name of God in politics and political propaganda; this blasphemy has been committed by the terrorist MB and Salafists. No one among the gullible, naïve, blind masses ever demanded from any of the MB members and Salafists to show a written document as a tangible proof of such authorization of the claim of being representatives of God on earth.

5- The clergymen makes their gullible, naïve followers lose in this world and the next one; inside Hell, the tormented followers will curse their clergymen, superiors, and masters: "The Day when their faces are flipped into the Fire, they will say, "If only we had obeyed God and obeyed the Messenger." And they will say, "Lord, we have obeyed our superiors and our dignitaries, but they led us away from the Way. Lord, give them double the torment and curse them with a great curse."" (33:66-68).

Islam (i.e., Quranism) never includes mortals who would act as mediators/intercessors on behalf of other mortals; God does not give any authorization to anyone among human beings at all (even messengers/prophets) to represent Him, and we exemplify this by quoting some Quranic verses that prove that the Lord God is the Overseer and Guardian of everything and He is the Watchful Omniscient Lord.

1- God is the Creator and Originator of everything in the universe; therefore, He is the Overseer and Guardian of everything; God directly addresses all human beings here: "God is the Creator of all things, and He is in charge of all things." (39:62); "Such is God, your Lord. There is no God except He, the Creator of all things; so worship Him. He is the Guardian of everything." (6:102).

2- There is no God except Allah, and this includes the fact that monotheistic believers should consider Him as the Only Guardian and Overseer: "...Take none for Guardian other than Me." (17:2); God has told Muhammad the following twice: "And put your trust in God. God is enough as a Trustee." (33:3); "...and rely on God. God is a Sufficient Guardian." (33:48).

3- There should be no Guardian, Protector, Keeper, or Ally to real believers except the Lord God; He has no representatives on earth within mortals or institutions: "...So avoid them, and put your trust in God. God is a Sufficient Guardian." (4:81); "To God belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. God suffices as Guardian." (4:132).

4- Muhammad was not a representative of anyone, and he never acted on behalf of anyone else.

4/1: God has commanded Muhammad to announce this fact: "But your people rejected it, though it is the Truth. Say, "I am not responsible for you."" (6:66); "Say, "O people, the truth has come to you from your Lord. Whoever accepts guidance is guided for his own soul; and whoever strays only strays to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you."" (10:108).

4/2: God has told Muhammad that he does not represent anyone or would be authorized to act on behalf of anyone at all: "...We did not appoint you as a guardian over them, and you are not a manager over them." (6:107); "...You are not their overseer." (39:41); "...We did not send you as their advocate." (17:54); "As for those who take allies other than Him: God is in charge of them, and you are not responsible for them." (42:6).

5- The gullible, naïve masses take for themselves revered, deified representatives of God on earth and place them in a high pedestal even above Muhammad. Real monotheists who discern and understand the Quran take God as their Only Lord and Creator, with no partners or associates alongside with Him.

5/1: God has told Muhammad to trust Him as the Only Lord: "Lord of the East and the West. There is no God but He, so take Him as a Trustee." (73:9).

5/2: In times of adversity, believers utter this Quranic phrase: "...God is enough for us; He is the Excellent Advocate." (3:173).

5/3: Within contracts, pledges, agreements, etc., God is invoked as a Witness, as He is the Omnipresent Lord.

5/3/1: Jacob said the following to his sons: "..."I will not send him with you, unless you give me a pledge before God that you will bring him back to me, unless you get trapped." And when they gave him their pledge, he said, "God is Witness to what we say."" (12:66).

5/3/2: The father-in-law of Moses, in Madian, said the following to Moses: "..."Let this be an agreement between you and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there shall be no harm against me; and God is Witness over what we say."" (28:28).
